Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Hamburg, 11 May 2011. Nordex has won the
largest order awarded for an onshore wind project in Sweden to date:
as of summer 2012 the turbine manufacturer will be building
"Blaiken", a 150 MW wind farm. The customers are Skellefteå Kraft, a
leading energy supplier in Sweden and Fortum, one of the largest
power utilities in Europe, based in Finland. Skellefteå Kraft and
Fortum have placed a firm order for 60 turbines for "Blaiken" thus
accelerating the originally intended call-off schedule of the master
agreement entered into last year. The N100/2500 machines will be
fitted with Nordex´ new anti-icing system for rotor blades.

The successful development of the anti-icing system was a key
criterion for the order. Nordex designed this system especially for
sites where there is a risk of ice forming on the rotor blade. This
can result in substantial production losses. An integrated heating
system now prevents icing, thereby maximising the yield.

In autumn 2010 Nordex installed the first N100/2500 turbines with
anti-icing in "Jokkmokksliden", the forerunner project to "Blaiken".
The wind turbine manufacturer tested and optimised the system on the
basis of three prototypes and one reference machine. "The
cost-benefit ratio of anti-icing persuaded us to have all the
turbines equipped with this innovative system," says Risto Andsten,
Vice President Renewable Energy, Fortum.

"Our new anti-icing system is the result of collaboration between
different functions within our company, and we are pleased to now see
the system put into commercial operation on one of the largest
projects in Europe. We are now able to offer an attractive option for
all customers planning projects at locations with ice and frost,"
says Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, Chief Sales Officer at Nordex SE.

Nordex - a profile As a technological leader among suppliers of
megawatt turbines, Nordex benefits particularly from the global trend
towards large-scale wind turbines. The product range includes one of
the largest series wind power systems in the world (N80/N90/N100,
2,500 kW) with more 1,500 of these turbines having been produced to
date. This means that Nordex has a crucial edge in terms of
experience in operating large turbines compared to most of its
competitors in the sector. Overall, Nordex has installed a more than
4,400 turbines with a capacity in excess of 6,600 MW around the
world. With exports accounting for over 95 percent of its business,
Nordex also has a strong position in international high-growth
regions. The company has offices and subsidiaries in 19 countries. In
total, the Group employs more than 2,500 people worldwide.
